Meterage price

[gdplastering]

I've got a few extensions coming up and the builders are up to there old tricks again! They Wanna know how much I charge per meter for skimming for labour only. They all wanna make money on ya does my head in!

What would you say a good meterage price was based? Or what would you want per meter?

we are based in Leicester

Had a similar conversation, told him I,was not interested in metre rates, he got me to do it on day work in the end, hundreds of columns, shadow gap beads etc..

It's like owt,if you have loads to go at it comes down in price,no one is going to pay 15m2 if its massive and straightforward ,if they are just little shittie extensions,day rate all the way.

Are you a child of right said Fred and jim will fix it.... Too soonsoon

 

[gdplastering]

If you do it on a day rate you'll be worse off. I mean just say you said £4 a metre you only gotta do 50m2 for £200. I only do day rate on tricky stuff.

can't believe its taken this long for someone to make that one:RpS_biggrin:

 

[lucius]

I think you should be able to give a builder a price unless it is realy out of the ordinary not by the M2 but you should be able to look at it and work out how long its going to take and price accordingly everyone wants to know what something is going to cost and builders these days wont be happy taking dayworkers on as they to are generally on a tight price.

 

[johniosaif]

Piece of piss to price an extension..

By the looks of it you've answered your own question there? How can anyone be expected to give you a m2 price on a job that they've not seen?
